25 Years of Music Street Press

Off the Record has had a lovely review in the Courier-Mail and other newspapers around the country.
Space is always tight in street press publications and the result here is a bunch of rock’n'roll yarns and quotable quotes that rattle along with all the 1-2-3-4 energy of a Ramones gig.

A big thanks from both Sean and Simon to everyone who attended last night’s launch of Off the Record: 25 Years of Street Press at Avid Reader.
It was heartening to see such a massive turnout crammed into the space available.
Thanks especially to the dear people at Avid Reader who never seem to tire of this stuff and our fabulous publisher UQP, who traded manuscripts for glasses of wine just for us.
Photos and video still to come.

Interviewed March 2010.
Angus Stone talks life on the road and the band’s organic process.
You can go to a fancy restaurant and have a not-so-good time or you can take your meal out onto the gutter and have a ball. The aesthetics are not always so important to creating something amazing.

Interviewed April 2008.
Michael Tomlinson speaks from Austin, Texas on YKB’s debut EP, essentially a demo remixed and expanded for their newly acquired major label.
To us, we’re still just a local Brisbane band who have a chance to do some really cool things.

Interviewed January 2008.
MCs Suffa and Pressure discuss the future of the Hoods in the wake of their successful ‘restrung’ tour and album, which mixed beats and rhymes with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
At the show, we had people coming along who were fans of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. I don’t know what they made of it because I can’t see classical music fans going nuts over anything, especially a hip-hop group.

Interviewed June 2007.
Chris Bailey and Ed Keupper discuss their unlikely reunion for the Queensland Music Festival in 2007.
I feel like I’m in the middle of two bands. It’s like having my very own private time machine. Having seen Ed recently, it seems like we haven’t lost our peculiar sense of humor.
